What I Wish I Would Have Done Differently In The Admissions Process

1. Started my LSAT prep a year before I was planning on taking it2. Gotten the PS bibles and spent my money on a tutor instead of a class3. Gotten a better GPA =)4. Applied Early (i.e. October)5. Started my Personal Statement 6+ months before I applied. 6. Bribed a few adcomms

1. practice with 5 section practice tests the entire time2. started thinking about this whole process early3. get my LORs figured out earlier4. apply for more private scholarships5. work on PS earlier

I am very happy with my results, and I really can not complain. I feel very lucky, and the only reason I wish I did the things above is that it would have been a little bit less stressfull at the time!

I submitted my apps mid-January and was waitlisted almost everywhere. Even now, I still haven't heard back from a handful of schools yet...the one exception was an acceptance with a sweet scholarship from my top choice (Very strange I know...and I can't explain how thankful I am.... I really dodged a bullet).

Other than that, no screwing around at the beginning of my undergrad. That is a long way back though, so it probably doesn't count.

...if there's any truth-in-reporting on LSN, I wish I would have known I could play grab-ass during my four-years of undergrad, then score a 165-170 on the LSAT and still get into a really respectable school.

Great point! 3.0 in at Duke... Gimme a break.

Mine... take the LSAT more than 1 FRIGGIN TIME! (Got into my first choice but money would have been nice)
